If you put all these bad elements(objectivley speaking) into a game then censorship of this is reasonable regardless of what you opinion is.


And who, pray tell, gets to decide this?
Good question , obviously there is no moral elite , people don't care about what the bible has to say about anything anymore so the only real decision make which we can (I don't think we should though) rely upon is society. If society feels it's bad then it's exactly that, the majority wins and no opinion is greater than the majority opinion no matter how valid it is.

Slavery rocked, yo.
the world majority was aganist it but we were hanging on there--and since africa proably had a bigger population then us at the time they were the majority

 


I didn't explain myself well enough , obviously all majorities aren't the same (I think you was just taking the word "majority" for it's pure meaning as opposed to trying to interprit what I was saying).

All the students, 90% of the school's population ("School population" including teachers,supervisors and other staff) can vote in favour of the school canteen being closed down , despite the vast number of people desiring a closure of the canteen their majority vote isn't as effective as say 75% of the teaching and supervisory staff wanting the canteen to remain open. 1% of the student's population's influence doesn't not equate to 1% of the staffs populations influence.

 A student sais "i'm leaving, I hate your decision making" No problem

Member of staff sais " i'm leaving , I hatey you decision making" Problem , cost's of looking for new staff , arranging new staff time tables , possibility of putting more workload on other staff etc etc. 

Society in in this modern day context has the power because democracy gave them that , the slave trade remained until the most powerful and influencial people didn't want it .

I made the assumption that you'd understand that I meant majoirty in the context of democratic decision making.
